the judge could declare a mistrial after only four days of court. marla tellez joining us in studio with all of the latest details. >> the case of william lynch versus father gerald lindner started a week ago today in san jose and could come to an end today. lynch does not deny beating father lindner, about two years ago. he says he did it out of retaliation for the sexual abuse he suffered at the the hands of the priest in the mid 1970s. the priest took the stand and denied the allegations despite the fact that the church paid a settlement to lynch and a few others a few years back. the father's testimony comes after the prosecutor told the jury the priest would likely lie under oath, so the defense is asking for a mistrial. here's the lead defense attorney. >> this is what's known as suborning perjury. you could be a defense lawyer, you can be any lawyer, you can't get away with it. we know of three additional victims have come forward so this is exactly what he wanted.

he wanted this man out in the open, he wanted people to not be afraid and i think he's accomplished what he wanted. >> if the judge declares a mistrial, do both lynch and father lindner walk free? our analyst explains why that could happen. >> then the d.a. will be in the position do they want to try this again with a witness who they already said is liar and said he is a pedophile. >> the ruling is expected at 8:30 this morning. also expected outside santa clara county superior court, a big group of lynch supporters so it could get loud depending on the ruling. >> going to be interesting to follow. also new this morning a fire investigator at the scene of two suspicious car fires on linden street in redwood city after 3:00 this morning. the two cars were about a block from each other. one was in the driveway of an apartment complex, the other parked on the street. police are checking for

charge. >> it's likely now he is advised to get an attorney for further advice whether to testify. if he invokes his fifth amendment privilege, then all of his previous testimony will have to be stricken, and then the judge will have to try to unring that bell with the jury. that's probably too difficult to do. >> the prosecution says they fulfilled their legal obligation when they warned the jury the priest may not tell the truth. either way it's up to the judge. his decision is expected in about two hours. >> thank you. 6:32. new this morning fire investigator on two car fires in redwood city. after 3:00 this morning. the two cars were about a block from each other, one in the driveway of an apartment complex, the other parked on the street. fire investigators checking for any accelerants found near the fires. crews were able to put the flames out before they could spread to nearby buildings.

money out. christie smith is live with what's behind the decision. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this is not what the 49ers wanted to hear or the city of santa clara and in fact, they are questioning whether the county has the right to do this. construction began on the new stadium back in april, now comes word of a $30 million setback, money that was ear marked for the new stadium construction. a new county board that oversees property tax apparently made the decision rather suddenly. they'd rather spend the money on local government and schools but two years ago voters approved $40 million in redevelopment funds to go to the new stadium. the the state has since scrapped the redevelopment agencies so the new state law gives counties control over where the money goes. as to wheth the will be a problem the niners haven't said specifically but the front office said it would eat the

loss, at least short-term and that amounts to 3% of the $1.2 billion cost. it's expected to open in 2014. next up, expect a long legal battle. we expect a statement from all sides involved in this. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> 6:36. let's check in on that beautiful weather ahead with meteorologist christina loren. >> good morning. taking a live look, a beautiful sun rise over the bay bridge. it's crisp out this and this camera is starting to shake. the winds are preventing the marine layer from settling at the surface. all the way up to concord, clear conditions to start. and temperatures unseasonably cool. you probably want to break out a sweater. coastal drizzle by monday afternoon, a mix of sun and clouds, staying cool. and highs around 5:00 p.m.

priest. his trial began a week ago and on friday the defense filed a motion for mistrial. here's the issue. during opening statements the prosecutor told the jury the priest would likely lie under oath and deny the molestation charges that lynch brought forward 10 years ago. father lindner did at any the charges despite the fact that the search paid a settlement and others so. the defense flames that prosecutors broke the lie by putting acknowledged lies before the jury. by warning the jury they have fulfilled their legal obligation. it is now in the judges hands, he will announce his decision when trial resumes at 8:30 this morning. >> thank you. 6:55. a surprise turn of events in the construction of the new 49ers stadium in the south bay. santa clara county is yanking $30 million promised for the project, pulling it off the table.

christie smith is live at the stadium site where -- with where all of the money will go. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this came as a surprise to the 49ers and the city, and they question actually whether the county has a right to do this. what's happening is that the county is looking at pulling about $30 million according to the "mercury news," that is voter approved money that was apparently earmarked for stadium construction. the stadium has been under construction since about april. the money is redevelopment money. the state law now gives the counties power to control where the money goes. the county wants to spend it for other things. so will this affect the stadium construction? the front office apparently said it would eat the loss, at least short-term which amounts to less than 3% of the cost of the entire stadium.
